Never had I thought about this: the use of remis.ctg or 2600.ctg [what is
this?] may indeed be because some people don't own the programs. This is
however no longer possible since Shredder7. BTW, we shall soon start a
120'/40 tournament [50-100 rounds] with the best six engines, and the
strongest CM9_X, and this time we shall most probably use the original
books.
